Israeli television Channel 2 reported that the organs of the dead Palestinians were stolen in hospitals for many corneas and bones – long bones – and the skin from the back, were extracted from the bodies of Palestinians, without the consent of their families. = Israeli television showed a 57 minute video filmed in the Institute by “Judea Hiss” (Yehuda Hiss), the director of Abu Kabir Institute showing how doctors were extracting the organs of the dead in the rooms of the Institute of Autopsy. The organs of Palestinians and other dead people were taken and implanted in the bodies of Jewish patients.

Video = Dr. Hiss told the doctors working with him to “Take from the dead very quickly! Take corneas and implant them into the patients in need”, and Hiss was also extracting organs from cadavers = “We were taking the corneas without taking out the eyes, and then we covered the place of the cornea and closed the eye. We did that as scientific research.” = These doctors broke Laws in Israel = “We gave these organs to…the Tel Hashomer Hospital in Tel Aviv….(and to) Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem…”

Abu Kabir doctors did the organ harvesting without the knowledge of the families of the deceased = “we were extracting the long bones of the dead, and sometimes we took parts of their heart.” — the skin of the back was taken from the dead as well the cornea, to treat wounded Israel soldiers. = “These doctors were grabbing the skin from the dead for transplants into the bodies of wounded soldiers.”

Video = A squatter and medical doctor specializing in plastic surgery and was the chief medical officer of the IDF from 1997-2000, and who is a member of the Knesset for the National Union, said “We had orders not to take the consent of the families while taking the organs of the dead”. From 2000-2003, after leaving active military service, Eldad served as director of the plastic surgery unit at the Hadassah Ein-Kerem Hosptial in Jerusalem

Expert at the University of Brooklyn said: “I heard about the subject of stealing the organs, and when I checked I found that Israel removed organs from Palestinians, and implanted them into the bodies of Israeli soldiers”. She strongly condemned the theft of the Palestinians organs, and she wondered how somebody can grab the organs from the body of the enemy and implant them into the bodies of his own soldiers, without the knowledge of their families. This is immoral behaviour.”

Israeli hospitals said “this topic is an old one and there is no reason to talk about it now again.

CRIMINAL = Responsible for the theft project is former IDF officer Arieh Eldad = Today a member of the Israeli Knesset.

British professor Nancy Schaefer Dios met the director of Abu Kabir 10 years ago and recorded a talk with him about these facts, said: “It is true that corneas and skin were taken from the bodies of Palestinians and Israelis, but taking the skin from the Palestinian bodies to transfer it to the enemy soldiers, this is moral decline…You can take skin from the Israelis to Israelis, but with the consent of the family, but how is taking organs from Palestinians for the benefit of Israeli soldiers understandable?”
